Interesting Reference

As part and parcel of a Third Amendment project I’m working on for some folks in Washington, I’ve been preparing a bibliography on the rise of the warrior cop phenomenon.

In the Spring 2013 issue of the Independent Review, Abigail R. Hall and Christopher J. Coyne had an article called The Militarization of U.S. Domestic Policing. In the article on page 487, there is a cite to “Lodge 2011.” As part of this project, we follow up on all source materials. In the footnotes, it reads “Lodge, Richard K 2011: Police Investigation Details the Night Eurie Stamps Sr. Died. MetroWest Daily News, May 10.” Now, I have some issues with the article, and with the issue of blending the militarization of local police with the issue of the federalizing of police in the war on terror, but, hey, Richard has made the big time!
